An AZImage format contains all transformations that have to be applied to the source files to obtain the final output images. This includes the size of the new image, the image format (e.g. JPEG, GIF, ...) and so on.

You can have multiple formats defined. For your convenience, you can select only some of the formats when converting the images. The basic idea behind is to keep all formats in the list and each time select only the ones you need for the particular conversion. This approach simplifies the management of formats and in the end saves time.

The list shows the most important properties of the formats. From left to right they are:

- active checkbox - checked if a format is active

- final file format for the output images

- transformations defined for the format (resize, brightness, grayscale, etc.)

- output path - the directory where the output images are saved

The toobar buttons for the formats tab are sef explanatory:

Add Format opens a dialogue where the new format can be defined, if wanted also saved to a file for later reuse.

Edit Format opens the same window, but with the settings of the format already loaded. You can modify them and then close the window to apply them to the format in the list.

Delete removes the selected formats from the list. If by accident some of the still needed formats are removed, you can use the Undo button to restore them.

Deactivate All will deactivate all formats. Note that only active (checked) formats are used during the conversion.

Save and Load will store, respectively retrieve the format list to/from a file.
